But to be fair then I met MrMMC who just loves all cars so I was sorted - and ended up driving a pug 205 diesel on an F plate for the last 2 weeks in the UK - how did that happen
Its cerbera 4.5 litre looks black but is actually darkest green with cream and green full hide inside sports exhaust upgraded shocks new clutch, Oh is reeling it off to me goes like the clappers love driving it but not as a passenger

He brought that one because its the only one of TVRs that has seats in the back for our little boy gets lots of looks and sounds like a ducati wow


Made someones day a while back, parked it at Focus as you do and coming back to the car there was guy admiring it, he said nice motor mate, is it yours "yes thanks " i said, with this i push the mirror button but he didn't
see that and of course door opens on its own ( for anyone that doesn't know TVRs don't have handles ) so i said it reckognises my touch his mouth fell open he believed me just imagine the conversation down the pub

lol when I was with my friend in his you'd get kids at the traffic lights asking you to rev the engine His was the burnt orange with the cream hide (stupid idea of his putting in cream carpets - mind you he is a financial advisor so unlikely to go anywhere remotely dirty hahahahaha)

Just fabulous cars

About the doors - yep I felt a spazz not knowing how to get in too!!!

My current car does recognise me as I approach, and as I reach for the door handle it unlocks the door for me.

It also has a push button start rather than a key but it won't start the car unless I have the key fob in my pocket.

You'll still need hands free to actually open the door but it will be unlocked.

You can use the remote to unlock all doors and/or open the trunk (boot) from about 10 meters.

It is a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

My first car was a blue mini estate that an old boyfriend bought for me....I never got to drive it as we split up

Got a phone call out of the blue, one day when I was pregnant with my 1st, Ex phoning to say he'd blown the bloody thing up on a race track somewhere Think he felt guilty

he races BMWs now hope they fare better than my poor mini

Talk about depression. I would have quite happily kept it for another couple of months, but as my OH sold his last month, he feels compelled to nag me into selling mine (just spiteful I think).

Anyway. All sympathy would be gratefully appreciated. If you want to have a look, now is your chance before it;s not mine anymore.

Wow you are really on your way! Good luck!
